Celebrities' Favourite Books: In Aid of the Alzheimer's Society

Dementia, including Alzheimer s disease, characterised by mental deterioration and degeneration of the brain, is distressing for both sufferers and those who care for them, and Novel Ideas is dedicated to those affected. Containing around 100 letters from well-known people nominating their all-time favourite reads and explaining their choice, this book is designed both to stimulate an interest in reading novels and also to raise awareness of Alzheimer s disease. With a fitting foreword by Princess Alexandra, the aim of the book is to highlight the plight of sufferers and raise awareness of, and funds for, the valuable work carried out by the Alzheimer s Society.
